Using the phone app this router only took minutes to get up and running. Speed test indicates over 1.5 Gb down and 1Gb up at my location and ISP.

The router is great. Work d well from the get go with my older modem. I previously had a Tenda router, but it has issues connecting to my Hitron modem. This router worked well without any modifications. The process of making it work was simple

Great Router, weak on signal, I am not sure?

I had my old router for about 8 years. It was high end, but very expensive ($600 CAD), when I bought it. It covered my whole house (medium size) with full bars on the signal of all my devices, everywhere, no boosters necessary. But, periodically, about 2x per year, it would go off line, and it was getting old, so I decided to buy a new one.
My choice was new technology. inexpensive, ($150 CAD - this router), and not powerful, or older technology, way more powerful, and way more expensive ($450 CAD), there was nothing in the middle that had great ratings, so I went with newer, less expensive, and less powerful,
This ASUS RT-BE58U router so far (3 weeks) has been excellent. Strangely, it does not give me a full bar signal all over the house, but it still gives me maximum speed everywhere in my house (go figure), as tested using an online speed test. I find this rather odd, that I get my full internet speed (same as my directly wired desktop computer) but I only have two bars on my portable devices. Perhaps it is due to the Multi Link Operation (linking dual bands) for smoother operation, I am not sure. But, so far, it works great, and I like it.
The only problem I have had with the router, was when I connected a USB Stick to the router, to share files with all my devices. The router recognized the USB Stick, but after going around and around in circles, and changing a lot of settings, for three hours, I was never able to get other devices to see the USB stick, even with a lot of Google searching. This was not a big deal to me, so I just gave up. I suspect I had a setting wrong somewhere, but I am not sure.
Overall, and I am glad that I purchased this router. Its a great router, at a reasonable price, and I really like it, but I did deduct one star for poor File Sharing Setup.

Very good router. Range is not as good as our previous router but acceptable. Happy with the setup. Very easy to install. A very good product especially when on sale.
